A number of low and middle income countries (LMICs) are considering social health insurance (SHI) for adoption into their social and economic environment or striving to sustain and improve already existing SHI schemes. SHI was first introduced in Germany in 1883. An analysis of the German system from its inception up to today may yield lessons relevant to other countries. Such an analysis, howe...

Hemp-based materials have been recently proposed as adsorbents for metals present in aqueous solutions using adsorption-oriented processes. This study aims to reveal the adsorption mechanism of prepared from hemp shives co-products industry, namely sodium carbonate-activated (SHI-C) and polycarboxylic agent-grafted (SHI-BTCA) shives. The interactions between copper two hemp-based were character...

The study aimed at evaluating the psychometric properties of the German version of the Self- Harm Inventory (SHI) and examining the lifetime prevalence and correlates of self-harm in a representative German population sample (N = 2,507; age mean = 48.79, SD = 18.11; range 14 to 94 years; 55.5% women) using the SHI. All participants answered the German SHI, the short form of the Barratt Impulsiv...

BACKGROUND Knowledge and understanding of what health insurance covers is an important public health issue. In Israel, whereas national health insurance covers all residents, optional supplemental health insurance (SHI) can be purchased from the healthcare providers, for additional, special services. The purpose of this study was to identify disparities between Jews and Arabs in their knowledge...

In this paper, we first consider (po-)torsion free and principally weakly (po-)flat $S$-posets, specifically  we discuss when (po-)torsion freeness implies principal weak (po-)flatness. Furthermore, we give a counterexample to show that Theorem 3.22 of Shi is incorrect. Thereby we present a correct version of this theorem. Finally, we characterize pomonoids over which all cyclic $S$-posets are ...

the rise of different sects among muslims and the formation of their creeds have been the effect of various religious and non religious factors. one religious belief that has been of particular importance in the creed of numerous muslim sects, especially of the shi'i ones, has been mahdawiyah, or the belief in mahdi. in its shi'i from, the belief in mahdi has been closely intertwined ...
